Baker (knee) was not activated from the reserve/PUP list ahead of Sunday's clash against Indianapolis.

Baker was designated to return to practice Wednesday, but he isn't yet ready for game action. The veteran cornerback hasn't yet played for Miami after signing a one-year contract to join the organization last March. Baker's next chance to suit up will be Sunday, Nov. 22, in Buffalo.

Culp was elevated from the Vikings' practice squad to their active roster Saturday.

Culp signed with Minnesota's practice squad Oct. 28, and this is his first elevation since joining the organization. He last suited up for regular-season action in 2025 for Tampa Bay, when he caught his only target over 13 games for a six-yard touchdown. Assuming Culp is active Sunday, he'll boost the depth of a Vikings tight-end corps that will be without starter T.J. Hockenson (wrist).

The Vikings elevated Jones from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday.

Jones has gotten into two games so far this season, catching his lone target for a 32-yard gain over nine offensive snaps. With Jauan Jennings (calf) ruled out for Sunday's battle against Green Bay and Jordan Addison (thumb) deemed questionable, Jones could serve as important depth at wideout for Kirk Cousins in the veteran quarterback's 2026 Minnesota debut.

West (knee) won't be activated from IR ahead of Sunday's Week 10 clash against the Cowboys, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

West has been on IR since Sept. 23 due to a knee injury. He upgraded to a full practice session Friday after being limited Wednesday and Thursday, but the 49ers aren't yet ready to activate him. Prior to getting hurt, West logged action in two games, recording five tackles (one solo) over 49 defensive snaps and five special-teams snaps.

The 49ers aren't activating Hobbs (adductor) ahead of Sunday's tilt against Dallas, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Hobbs had his 21-day practice window opened Nov. 4, so the 49ers still have ample time to activate him before he'd need to miss the rest of the season. The veteran cornerback hasn't yet made his regular-season San Francisco debut after signing with the team on a one-year contract last March. Hobbs did manage to log a trio of full practices this week, so he seems to be progressing well toward a return to action.

Eboigbe (ankle) is questionable to suit up Monday against Baltimore.

Eboigbe hurt his ankle last Sunday against Houston and missed Thursday's practice. He was able to log limited sessions Friday and Saturday, however, to give himself a chance to play Monday. If Eboigbe can't give it a go, Nick Barrett could pick up many of his defensive snaps.

Perryman (pectoral), who is on IR, is officially questionable to suit up against Baltimore on Monday.

Perryman has missed the entire season to date due to a pectoral injury. He was designated to return Nov. 4 and logged an LP/FP/FP practice progression this week. Perryman would have to be activated from IR in order to make his season debut Monday.

Randall (neck), who remains on IR, has been tagged as questionable to face the Chargers on Monday.

Randall has been on injured reserve all season while recovering from a neck injury. He was designated to return Oct. 28 but wasn't activated for Week 8 or Week 9. Randall was a fifth-round selection in April's NFL Draft, so if he's activated and gets into Monday's Week 10 matchup, it will be his NFL regular-season debut.

The Saints elevated Smyth from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday.

Smyth is thus set to serve as the Saints' kicker for the second straight week. In his 2026 debut last Sunday against Cleveland, he went 3-for-4 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on point-after tries. If Smyth performs well Sunday, he'll likely be elevated again for Week 11 in Chicago.

Jones was elevated from Arizona's practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Jones signed with the Cardinals' practice squad Oct. 28, and this is his first elevation since joining the organization. The veteran wideout could immediately slide into a major role in Arizona's passing game among a depleted wideout corps that has lost Michael Wilson (neck) and Kendrick Bourne (tibia) for the season. Jones spent the past two campaigns with the Cardinals, and he caught 12 passes (on 18 targets) for 182 yards over eight games last year.
